Heya everyone. So, Halloween's in a week and I happened to notice the great lack of jack-o-lanterns on everyone's front stoops. How are we going have an amazing time trick-or-treating if everything isn't festive?

Come on, everyone. Where's the spirit? I'm totally going to set up a community pumpkin carving festival in the park this weekend. Maybe we can trade costume ideas, too. I'm dressing up as a cat. Meow~

Oh! Rin! When you hear this... [Marisa sounds a little nervous.] ...wanna come over for dinner? Mom makes the best roast. We can, um, finish that... project for school.

[Marisa is diligently carving pumpkins outside. The designs are a little... odd though.]

[she'll knock, geez. Not devoid of common courtesy, here!

But after another scowl and a sigh, she resumes her usual calm and relaxed demeanor.]

I'll be baking after supper. You're not on any diet the last I checked, Mari. Do you girls want anything in particular?

[adropofjupiter]

How about some apple cobbler? Rin likes anything sweet.

[ex_seventh238]

[she chuckles faintly at that.]

Apple cobbler is rather specific, for 'anything sweet'. That's fine though, I'll get on it then. Would there be anything else? I should go check on that roast soon, all things considered.

[adropofjupiter]

Well, I like apple cobbler. With the oat-y crumble stuff on top!

[ex_seventh238]

There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but you could stand to ask your friends their preferences, just for future reference. Hm?~

[adropofjupiter]

I told you - she likes anything sweet. No real preference, Mom.

[ex_seventh238]

Then make one! I don't mean to brag, but I'm quite sure that I bake much better than Ms. Smith. Why don't you make an effort, at least?

[adropofjupiter]

Fine. Geeze, Mom. Do we have ice cream? Like French vanilla? Rin really likes ice cream, so make it a la mode. With some caramel sauce.

[ex_seventh238]

French vanilla ice cream goes way better with brownies, for your information, young lady! [WAVES HER INDEX AUTHORITATIVELY] But that can be arranged tonight, I suppose. You won't find out unless you give people different things to try and ask them what they end up liking best, in the end. Now then, what about for your lunch tomorrow? [just make sure it's easy to pack, naturally--!]

[adropofjupiter]

...I dunno, ze. You always make good lunches, so anything works.

[ex_seventh238]

I'm talking about snacks and desert! If you don't mind carrying a heavier box, I'll make sure to pack extra? [/only one who cares and fusses so much about food...]

[adropofjupiter]

...you're gonna end up having my table at lunch swarmed by everyone, ze.

[ex_seventh238]

Then it's up to you to be subtle about it! Why not have lunch on top of the roof instead?

[mom is

not too old to wink...]

[adropofjupiter]

[Ugh, Mom, don't wink like you're sixteen. Just because you look young doesn't mean you aren't, like, forty.]

If I can get up there unnoticed. Not as easy as it sounds, ze.

[ex_seventh238]

[*fifty lbr your mom was that nice girl in high school that everyone talked about yet rarely dated, almost joined the covenant and all her old classmates were convinced she was going to die an old maiden before she finally married off to... uh...

--wait that doesn't. sound right either, does... it...........]

I could arrange for that, you know~ [part of the faculty and all

#worstenabler]

[adropofjupiter]

...I thought you didn't approve of my... extracurricular activities.

[ex_seventh238]

Occasional exceptions are okay, and you're at that age. Besides, even if I don't open you some back doors, I'm sure that you'll find some way to fly yourself up there on your own. Best to have you do it safely in that case, hm?

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah... thanks... I think.

[...]

What do you by 'that age' anyways?

[ex_seventh238]

Your teenage years, of course!

[adropofjupiter]

...you made it sound like there was something bad about being... a teenager, I guess.

[ex_seventh238]

Of course, is that strange? There's good and bad to everything. As long as you moderate and don't get seriously hurt, it should be fine. You're not very good at the former, though...

[adropofjupiter]

I'll survive, ze. Don't worry. [eyeroll]

[ex_seventh238]

Oh, I know you're a tough girl, but you can't say stuff like 'don't worry' to your own mother, you know~ [this is awful]

[adropofjupiter]

I totally can!

[sniff sniff]

...something burning?

[ex_seventh238]

Nope, that's not allowed.

[...sniff...]

--Not yet, but I do need to take it out now before it does--! [you can't fool her nose okay this fact will never change] Dinner will be in an hour, don't make me come get you more than once!

[And with a cheery wave, she'll be sauntering back to the kitchen. #dailyfamireelife, totally...]
